Today marks the 35th anniversary of the combative organization Pahari Chhatra Parishad (P*P).

On this day, May 20,1989, P*P was established in Room No. 2002, Rashid Hall at University of Engineering and Technology(BUET). The next day, on May 21, P*P leaders and activists took to the streets of Dhaka to protest the Langadu massacre through a silent procession and the organization made its debut.

At the time the P*P was formed, the Jana Sanghati Samiti (JSS) was involved in an armed struggle in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, where meetings were banned, and detectives were active. Also, at that time dictatorship was going on in the plains, even in the plains like the Chittagong Hill Tracts no public meeting could be held. P*P was born during that turbulent period.

From its inception, the ruling party continued to exert political repression on the leaders and activists of the P*P. Because the ruling party was afraid of the uncompromising fight of the P*P. Despite so much repression of the P*P leaders and workers, their morale did not break. They continue to fight. This fight will continue till the rights are achieved. P*P means struggle, struggle means P*P.

However, the police reported the recovery of 8 bodies.

In the statement, Natun Kumar Chakma described the incident according to local sources and said that at 6:30 am yesterday, a group of 20-25 armed terrorists belonging to Navyamukosh and reformist JSS entered the Jurvarang village and fired blank bullets and created panic among the residents. Later, the terrorists tied up 22 people of the neighborhood one by one. A class 8 student and some college students were not spared from the terrorists. Locals alleged that the terrorists kicked a 75-year-old man to the ground.

Later, the terrorists took the 22 people at gunpoint to Khamtang neighborhood and imprisoned them in a private primary school there. After that, 15 people were released from there, but the remaining 7 people were shot and killed in cold blood.

The names of 7 victims of murder have been revealed. They are - 1. Bhan Du Bawm, 2. Sang Khum, 3. Sang Phir Thang Bawm, 4. Boy Rem Bawm 5. Jahim Bawm, 6. Lal Lian Ngak Bawm and 7. Lal Tha Jar Bawm. Among them, 6 are residents of Jurvarang village and 1 is said to be resident of Pankhiang neighborhood.

In the statement, he mentioned that the people of the area had left their homes in fear of the incident and took shelter in Rowangchari and Ruma upazila headquarters. He said that the state forces have been conducting "combing operation" in the remote areas of Ruma, Rawangchari and Thanchi upazilas since October last year in the name of suppressing a group named 'KNF'. But not being able to suppress the KNF, various atrocities are being committed on the ordinary Bawm neighborhood residents. Now again armed terrorists are being killed, disappeared and kidnapped. As a result, hundreds of Bam ethnic groups have been forced to seek refuge in various safe havens in Mizoram and Bandarban, India. Even now, ordinary Bawm Para residents are not able to live safely. This has caused a humanitarian disaster in that area.

The UPDF leader in the statement demanded an immediate impartial judicial investigation of the killings and exemplary punishment of the killers and an end to the persecution and killing of innocent people in the name of operation.
